1 – BE SURE THESE SURFACES ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF
KNICKS BEFORE INSTALLING BEARINGS
2 – STEERING KNUCKLE
3 – STUB AXLE
CAUTION: When installing hub and bearing assem-
bly into steering knuckle, be careful not to damage
the flinger disc (Fig. 34) on hub and bearing assem-
bly. If flinger disc becomes damaged, hub and bear-
ing assembly MUST not be used and MUST be
replaced with a new hub and bearing assembly.
(1) Install hub and bearing assembly onto stub
shaft and into steering knuckle until squarely seated
on face of steering knuckle
(2) Install the 3 hub and bearing assembly to
steering knuckle attaching bolts (Fig. 31). Equally
tighten all 3 mounting bolts until hub and bearing
assembly is squarely seated against front of steering
knuckle. Then tighten the 3 hub and bearing assem-
bly mounting bolts to a torque of 110 N·m (80 ft. lbs.)
CAUTION: The hub and bearing assembly to stub
shaft retaining nut (Fig. 30) is a prevailing torque
nut and can not be re-used. A NEW retaining nut
MUST be used when assembled.
(3) Install a NEW hub and bearing assembly to
stub shaft retaining nut (Fig. 30). Tighten, but do
not torque the hub nut at this time.
(4) Install the rotor on the hub and bearing assem-
bly (Fig. 29).
(5) Install front brake caliper back over braking
disc and align with caliper mounting holes on steer-
ing knuckle. Refer to Disc Brake Caliper in the
Removal And Installation Section in the Brake Group
of this service manual for the caliper installation pro-
cedure. Install the caliper to steering knuckle guide
pin bolts (Fig. 28) and tighten to a torque of 19 N·m
(168 in. lbs.).
(6) Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle.
Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper
sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specifica-
tion. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the full
specified torque of 129 N·m (95 ft. lbs.).
(7) Lower the vehicle to the ground.
CAUTION: When torquing hub and bearing assem-
bly to stub shaft retaining nut, do not exceed the
maximum torque of 163 N·m
10 ft. lbs.). If the maximum torque is exceeded
this may result in a failure of the drive shaft.
(8) With vehicle brakes applied to keep vehicle
from moving, tighten the NEW stub shaft to hub and
bearing assembly retaining nut to 163 N·m
(120 ft. lbs. 10 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 36).
(9) Check the Toe setting on the vehicle and reset
if not with-in specifications.
